| LINGG's APPEARANCE.
Immediately after the explosion
Deputy O'Neill rushed into Lingg's
cell, which was completely enveloped
in smoke. There he found the youne
Anarchist lying on his b ,rk with great
holes in his head, from which blood
flowed in torrents. He was at once
carried into the jill office and placed
on table. He was still breathing
family, and while DR.. Gray was ex.
amining him he coughed sli ,htly and
blood poured again from his terr BILE
wounds and fr I'm his mouth md nose
The physician said that the man could
only live an hour or so at most, and
he expected his death at any moment.
TRAITOR IN THE CAMP.
The theory of the sheriff's office is
that there is a traitor among the d ath
watch who gave him the dynamite
and cap.
BLACK CALLS.
Capt. Black called at the Jail about
10 o'clock and went to the room where
the doctors were working with Lingg.
Lingg opened his eyes ana looked at
Captain Black and nodded his head.
Rags and strings of flesh hung from
Lingg's face.
MEDICAL OPINION.
At 1915 DIR. Gray, after further ex-
animation, found that the tissue of
the throat, neck and front of the jaw
had been torn away. He administer
ed stimulants but failed to arouse the
man. vet the doctor states that there
is faint possibility that Lingg may
vet live. Grinnell says in case he
lives until tomorrow a stay of execu-
ton for him at least, will doubtless be
granted.
LINGG STILL CONSCIOUS.
Captain Black came to the Jail
shortly after l o'clock. He went to
the room where the doctors were
working with Lingg.
"Poor fellow; poorfellow !" he said.
"Can he recognize me"
Lingg opened his eyes, looked
steadfastly at the Captain and nodded
his head. The rags and strings Of
flesh that hung to his face waved to
and fro, and the Captain was almost
overcome and left the room.
He called Prengar and said: "Doc-
tor, don't you think consultation of
physicians ought to be held as to
whe her this man ought to he hung"
impossible to hang him." said
Doctor. "who ever heard OF hanging
a wounded man?"
"No, sir; it must not be-" the sur-
geon said, as he returned to his grim
task.
DEATH.
Louis Lingg died at 2:55 o'clock
this afternoon. He presented most
horrible sight. All the lower part of
his jaw was completely torn off and
his thick aiihnrn hair was matted
with blood. The cheeks were torn
out and hung down in jagged pieces
on his neck. The teeth we're knocked
out and the gums torn away and a
small stump of tongue appeared pro-
truding from the mangled throat.
THE LATEST THEORY.
1t is now learned that Lingg ended
his life by means of a Illuminating cap
and not with a revolver. as first stated.
He held the cap in his mouth and lit
it with candle. which was burning
in the CELL. The explosion was the
first warning the jail people had. The
guard seeing him with the candle in
his hand supposed he was lighting
a cigar,
EFFECT ON THE OTHERS --t
When the explosion occurred all
and prisoners were on their.
feet in an instant, and every one of
them looked stunned and frightened.
Bailiff Foltz at once gave orders to
have every one of the cells searched.
and Parsons was the first one visit
was made upon. When Fngel was
being searched he com pletely broke
down and cried like a child. He is
still so prostrated that he has not yet
been brought back in his cell. .
THE AGENT OF DEATH.
The agent which had served Lingg
to accomplish this mornings work
was small Illuminating cap little
over an inch long. 1t had been filed
with illuminate of mercury, and a
small fuse which is usually attached
to these Instruments of death, had
been touched off by Lingg at the time
the death-watch thought he was light
ing a cigar.
When Lingg committed the deed he
was lying on his face on his cot.
ANOTHER CAP FOUND.
After the affair, when his cell was
searched, another candle was found.
On the ton of it, partly concealed by
ends of wick, a second Illuminating cap
was found, so it il supposed that
Lingg's attempted suicide was c"m-
mtted with cap simil rr to the one
in the hidden candles. The jailer said
that the caps must have been put in
by Lingg himself.
SCENE IN THE CELL.
The scene in Lingg's call alter the
explosion was ghastly. Teeth. bits OF
iawbone, shreds of flesh and blood
were scattered all over the narrow
apartment. A little trail OF blood
marked the way over the stone flag
ging to the room where Lingg was
carried.
OFFICIAL ALARM.
Within five minutes after the explo-
sion, Fischer. Parsons and Engel
were taken from their cells and
searched in the jailer's private office.
Their entire clothing was taken from
them and new suits given them. The
Sheriff SAYS that Lingg was stripped
and carefully searched yesterday and
the day before.
EXCITEMENT OUTSIDE.
The news of Lingg's dreadful deed
created the most profound excitement
at the sheriff's Office. Deputies
crowded together to compare notes,
and then separated to spread the re-
port and forward intelligence or
hold themselves in readiness for what
might occur. A number of people OF
all descriptions crowded into the Office
eagerly inoliring as TO the particulars
